Learn to Can For Real

3. Learn to Can for Real

SO....since growing way too many things in the garden...I had to figure out what to do with all this delicious and healthy stuff.  Though I don't own all of the canning equipment that I need yet, I did learn how to do it.  Jess and I picked raspberries in Northport late this summer, made jam, and canned them for REAL!  It was awesome.  I have been doing small batches of freezer/refrigerator canning of all kinds of things...pickled tomatoes, jams, herbs, etc.  But I STILL have a jar of that raspberry jam.

This past week, my grandma sent up a bunch of her old canning equipment from the 50's.  Is it a sign?  I guess we'll have to wait and see how the gardening goes at our new place!  =)
